Guidelines for Modeling Rotating Machines in 3D
Learn how to use the Rotating Machinery, Magnetic interface in COMSOL Multiphysics® to model a 3D generator, and then compare our results with an analogous 2D model. Part 2 of 2.
The Boundary Element Method Simplifies Corrosion Simulation
The boundary element method can be used when simulating corrosion to avoid needing a finite element mesh to resolve the whole 3D structure, saving time for large problems with slender components.
Newtecnic Creates Better Building Façades with Simulation
Engineers at Newtecnic use COMSOL Multiphysics® to balance elements such as stability, efficiency, and comfort when creating building façades that are both eye-catching and functional.
Simulation Improves Range of Motion in Piezoelectric Actuators
We highlight 1.) some of the fundamental elements of piezoelectric theory and basic simulations and 2.) a novel design for improving the range of motion for piezoelectric actuators.
